My Interview With Molly

What Inspires You as an
artist?

Being and artist, to me is about balance. Creating arts give
me balance in life that I wouldn’t otherwise have.I am also inspired world events and possibilities that arise along the way bring new ideas to the table as well.

How long Have you been working with Clay?

Ive been working with art ever since I can remember. I've worked with many mediums
including , drawing, pastel, and painting. I started working with Clay in 2002
where I attended Kent State University with a major in ceramics.

Why clay?

The teachersand the
environment is generally is what lead me to ceramics. The teachers were very inspiring. The mode in
making clay is also different than other crafts, to me it is very calming.

What advice to you have for others?
Keep making work. Keep Creating. Don’t distract yourself with who is seeing it
or what they may think. Try new techniques and apply then to your own idea. Pay
attention to other artists and see how their techniques have evolved and learn
from them.

*GIVEAWAY****Molly has been generous enough to offer up this beautiful Tumbler!

Description:

This stout little cup would make a great holder of flowers, brushes, pencils, or knick knacks of any kind!

Made on the potters wheel of a white stoneware clay, it has a shapely figure with two handles that each coil into three loops. Two glazes interact along the surface creating a cascading visual effect of waverly lines down to its foot. The colors range from a pale pastel blue to a beautiful blue- green with crystaline qualities. Truly a dainty little addition to any table top.
